Brown Meat: In a skillet, brown the ground chicken, ground turkey, and hot Italian sausage until cooked through.

Layer Noodles: In a 9×13-inch casserole dish, start by layering with lasagna noodles, ensuring they cover the bottom evenly.

Add Meat Mixture: Next, spread a layer of the meat and sauce mixture over the noodles, ensuring even distribution.
-
Sprinkle Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of Parmesan, Mozzarella, and Cheddar cheese over the meat layer, adding a delightful cheesy goodness.
-
Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, ensuring to finish with a layer of cheese on top for that golden, bubbly finish.
-
Bake: Place the assembled lasagna in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.

Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into hearty portions. Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness!
